Each of the five types of conotoxins attacks a different target: 1  Î±-conotoxin attacks acetylcholine receptors at nerves and muscles. 2  Î´-conotoxin inhibits the inactivation of voltage-dependent sodium channels. 3  Îº-conotoxin inhibits potassium channels. 4  Î¼-conotoxin inhibits voltage-dependent sodium channels in muscles. Ï-conotoxin inhibits N-type voltage-dependent calcium channels. Because N-type voltage-dependent calcium channels are related to algesia (sensitivity to pain) in the nervous system, Ï-conotoxin has an analgesic effect: the effect of Ï-conotoxin M VII A is 100 to 1000 times that of morphine.
